MANCHESTER UNITED fans have been left raging as the Glazers reportedly plan on staying in charge for another DECADE.
In a fresh takeover blow, the Red Devils have received a minority investment offer from American group Carlyle.

Current suitors Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani are yet to meet the Glazers’ £6billion price-tag for a full buyout.
And the current United owners are now considering a minority option, meaning they will retain control at Old Trafford.
ESPN claims the Glazers are now warming strongly to the idea of staying put.
They reckon they can eventually double United’s valuation with fresh outside investment.
And the Glazers plan on sticking around for at least 10 more years.
Fans were left fuming on Twitter as they reacted to the news, with one saying: “If the Glazers dare to stay after all of this, there will be protests like never seen before.”
Another declared: “Full sale only! This is a pivotal moment in our history. The Glazers need to go.”
One noted: “United currently owe £969.6m through a combo of gross debt, bank borrowings and outstanding transfer fees.

“A reminder that United were debt free before the Glazers took over in 2005. Enough is enough.”
Another added: “They should leave United, we are tired of them.”
It’s the latest twist in a crazy takeover saga which has seen bids of £5bn come in from Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim.
The duo’s offer came as the deadline for bids was extended by 48 hours in farcical scenes.
And United announced last week that there was to be a THIRD round of bidding until the end of the month.
Racliffe and Sheikh Jassim are believed to be the only willing participants left for a full takeover.
But their dreams could be dashed following the Glazers’ talks with Carlyle over a minority stake.
Former United star Gary Neville blasted the links, saying: “No thank you! This doesn’t work for United!
“The Glazer PR machine keeps leaking this type of minority partnership out there bi-weekly whilst stressing it’s a confidential process. Full Sale Only.”
